碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電機工程學研究所 === 99 === In recent years, smartphones such as iPhone and Android phones have changed the way people live, which is evident from the rapid growth in their market shares and the number of applications being developed and released each day. 3G and Wi-Fi technologies provide the ubiquitous connectivity that enables people to easily access cloud from everywhere via their smartphones. In this thesis, we develop a new mechanism that allows applications to o oad part of the computation to the cloud. This mechanism harnesses the power of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), in which the origin source code need not be modi ed; yet new functionalities can be added using additional aspects. By using this mechanism, mobile applications automatically o oad part of the execution onto the cloud to get better performance, to improve energy-e ciency and to extend battery life.
